PREAYER FOR PEACE

PRAYER FOR PEACE

She searched the earth for Silver and Gold;
She searched the sea for tales untold..
She searched the distant hills and vales,
But her quest to find happiness had sadly failed.

She roamed the cities near and far.
She saw weakness and also power...
She heard of battles and great wins,
But she observed the pain and scarred skin.

She found death, desperation and fear;
She found starvation, cold and tears,
She found resentment, found no relief -
But she also found warmth, love and peace.

For within the homes of the dry cold lands,
Families sat - hand in hand...
Offering prayers of hope and love
And asking for well-being to the Lord above.

She did not understand the pain and sin.
She didn't celebrate the glorious win.
She did however fold her hands in prayer
And thanked the Lord for love, hope and care.
